Starizona Hyperstar 3 & Camera Adapter - Celestron C8

This Starizona HyperStar Lens was designed for the Celestron 8" telescope (C8).

Lens assembly works with a variety of cameras - but different cameras require different adapters.

The Starizona HyperStar Lens system allows the telescope to operate at a focal ratio of f/2.0, an incredible 25 times faster than the standard f/10 focal ratio!

A holder is included for safe storage of the secondary mirror while imaging.

By mounting the Starizona HyperStar Lens assembly in place of the secondary mirror, a CCD camera can be mounted at the front of the telescope allowing for a wider field of view and much faster imaging.

Please specify the camera being used when ordering.

Starizona HyperStar Lens - 8'' Celestron

Introducing the new HyperStar 3! This new HyperStar lens now accommodates CCD chips up to 27mm diagonal, allowing for a huge field of view at incredibly fast speeds!

HyperStar is based on Celestron's innovative Fastar feature. This feature allows the secondary mirror to be removed from Celestron's 8", 11", and 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. By mounting the HyperStar lens assembly in place of the secondary mirror, a CCD camera can be mounted at the front of the telescope allowing for a wider field of view and much faster imaging.

The HyperStar lens assembly works with a variety of cameras from SBIG, Starlight Xpress, SAC, Orion, Meade, and Astrovid. Different cameras require different adapters, however. One adapter is included with the HyperStar lens.

A holder is included for safe storage of the secondary mirror while imaging.

The HyperStar systems allows the telescope to operate at a focal ratio of f/2.0, an incredible 25 times faster than the standard f/10 focal ratio! Images can be obtained in just seconds!

The corrector will not normally need to be removed for a Fastar C8, though it may need to be removed for a non-Fastar C8 that requires the Starizona conversion kit in order to switch the secondary mirror assembly.
